CySight can correlate network traffic to business groups by IP address segments or Autonomous System.

Analysis of Business Groups is available in the Visualization, Multiview and Forensics analysis and schedule report.

There are two kinds of business grouping available in CySight - Account and Cost Center.
  • Account - is usually defined as logical business group, like organization department, ISP or host environment customer etc, which is used for "bill to" or for cost recovery.
